Daily News | It’s Tom Brady vs. the Dallas Cowboys, and Eagles fans wonder: Can’t they both lose?
Some people might think that, since the Eagles won’t be playing in the NFL wild-card round this weekend, their fans won’t pay much attention to any of the games.It’s not just that the outcomes of the three NFC contests will determine who the Eagles will face in the divisional round. It’s that there is one game that will command the attention of anyone who has followed or cheered for the Eagles for any length of time over the last, say, 60 years.
Like Apollo Creed said, it sounds like a damn monster movie. This is Freddy Krueger versus Jason Voorhees in a schlocky movie. This is two Real Housewives on Bravo, swinging purses and clawing at each other with their fake fingernails. This is Jerry Jones’ Botoxed face versus Brady’s TB12′d body. This is the franchise that Eagles fans hate most going against the player whom Eagles fans hate/respect/fear most. There’s no bad outcome here, really. It’s schadenfreude all the way down.
Though they were a weaker team this season on the road than they were at home — 8-1 at AT&T Stadium, 4-4 everywhere else — the Cowboys would present a much stiffer challenge. They have their weaknesses, of course: Dak Prescott led the NFL in interceptions and interception percentage , and the Cowboys tend to fall short of whatever expectations the NFL’s cognoscenti have established for them.
A team with a quarterback who is five years away from AARP eligibility and oversees an anemic passing game? A team with a defense that struggles to stop the very thing that the Eagles do best? On paper, and probably in reality, there isn’t an Eagles fan anywhere who wouldn’t sign up for that matchup.The Eagles haven’t fared especially well in the playoffs against Dallas, Tampa, or Brady.
